Tax exemption for the First Nations

Modified on: Thu, Nov 15, 2018 at 10:56 AM

For Alberta: If you place an order to have it delivered to your reserve, you're exempt from paying GST & HST if you can provide us with your valid Indian Status card and, when placing your order, you must have your Indian Status card # within your invoice (shipping address). This applies except for Inuit or Métis as they are not eligible for this exemption by the Canada Revenu Agency, which regulates the taxes in NS, NL, PEI, NB and AB.

Online purchases (shipped out): If you place an order online to be delivered to your reserve, you are exempt from paying GST & PST if you can provide us with your valid Indian Status card; except Nisga'a citizen. British-Columbia's provincial government declares that the citizens of the Nisga'a nation are not eligible for the tax exemption because they are not related to the First Nations.

Local warehouse pickup: The tax exemption does not apply by law if the goods are not delivered directly to a First Nation's land.

For Ontario: For those in the province of Ontario, we may not offer the tax exemption as by law, it is prohibited to do so for online purchases. You may send a claim for refund to the Ontario Ministry of Finance.
